Commercial partnerships of TLX (Source: Companyâs report)
TLX provided a couple of updates on 28th May 2019 which are as follows:
The company had submitted a request to the FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) to conduct a pre-NDA (New Drug Application) meeting. Ideally, the NDA is a procedure through which a company applies for marketing approval for a pharmaceutical product in the US region.
The above-mentioned request by the company is for the marketing authorization for the illumetTM, which is a prostate cancer imaging product, in the United States. Prior to this request, TLX had submitted a Drug Master File in July 2018. Various Investigational New Drug applications had followed it in the USA and Europe region. These were inclusive of Endocyte (now Novartis) VISION Phase III trial and other academic studies, building clinical experience and seeking new application areas for illumetTM.
TLX has a ready comprehensive pre-NDA package and it hopes to meet the FDA in July this year. This would conclude the go/no-go status of the submission to gain marketing authorization in the United States region.
